Ideas across Africa deserve to be seen and supported

Across Africa and within the African diaspora, brilliant ideas are being developed every day. Students are researching solutions to climate change, innovators are exploring new technologies, and scholars are studying challenges in health, agriculture, education, and economic development.

Yet many of these ideas remain unseen or unsupported. Too often, talented African researchers lack platforms where they can share their work, collaborate across disciplines, and connect with people who can help turn knowledge into real-world solutions.

Expected scale

The conference aims to host 400–500 participants, including students, PhD researchers, early-career scientists, scholars from across Africa, members of the African diaspora, and policy and innovation leaders.

What participants will have the opportunity to do

  • Present research addressing Africa’s most pressing challenges
  • Connect with researchers across disciplines and countries
  • Engage with policymakers and innovation leaders
  • Discover opportunities for collaboration and impact

Your support will help fund

  • Student participation scholarships
  • Conference logistics and research presentation platforms
  • Knowledge sharing and dissemination
  • Innovation challenges and research recognition
